Table 2.
Number of erythrocyte clusters and of individual erythrocytes visualized per CCi section in control and transgenic mice used to ablate Nkx2.1-derived or only NG2+ cells. The values (mean ± SEM) corresponding to the number of erythrocyte clusters and the number of individual erythrocytes per CCi are given for: (1) Nkx2.1-cre+/Rosa-DTA mice and their corresponding control Nkx2.1-cre-/Rosa-DTA mice, and (2) Cspg4-cre+/Rosa-DTA mice and their corresponding control Cspg4-cre-/Rosa-DTA mice (n=5 each; unpaired Student’s t-test).

| Nkx2.1-cre+/RosaDTA | 13.00 ± 2.62 | 273.42 ± 41.44 |
| Cspg4-cre-/Rosa-DTA | 5.83 ± 0.62 | 397.80 ± 18.96 |
| Cspg4-cre+/Rosa-DTA | 14.95 ± 1.77 | 447.30 ± 22.91 |
